Bazunu has saved the world…
Alas, no he hasn’t. He refused to play in a game of football - a game he was never going to be picked in either way. |  | | |

Good for him. A man standing by his principles driven by his personal faith. |  |

Sadly influenced by the loony hypocritical paddystianians. He should concentrate on shot stopping.
Without doubt the worst keep ever to don the Saints goalkeeping shirt. It’s a certain irony that he was replaced by the highly talented Peretz who is of course Israel’s number 1.
He’s played against Qatar who are no angels when it comes to observing human rights and never said a dickie bird.
Jumping on the pro Palestine band wagon is becoming fashionable and in particular Celtic and Ireland seem to be at the forefront of this movement. Also Ireland recently played Afghanistan with their Taliban run country at cricket with no noise whatsoever coming from the Irish Government.
He’s trying to make himself famous but it certainly ain’t for his goalkeeping skills as we have all witnessed at first hand. |  | | |

If he wanted to make a protest against Israel, surely playing against them and preventing them from scoring would have been more effective. Oh, but wait .... | | | |

Wonder if Azaz has any thoughts on this due to Peretz being a team mate? Would hope it's all down to his genuine feelings

Absolutely spot on, very selective protesting. | | | |

How silly. Keep politics out of football. Let's remember we have our own Israeli player at Saints in goal, and imagine if opposition players refused to shake his hand just because he comes from Israel? We don't know what the views are of each individual player. It's leaders and governments making controversial decisions, not football.players. | |

We have Daniel Peretz and also Finn Azaz with Israeli heritage. |  |

It's sad that so many on this thread used it to make barbed comments about Bazunu, he made a decision that has not probably not exactly helped his International career and he made it being a lone voice to do so in the dressing room.
Had it been a Saints player who was popular making this call, then he would be garnering praise.
People ask why I keep sticking up for Bazunu and it is moments like this that are the reason, when someone becomes the scapegoat and is treated unfairly and whatever they do is slagged off.
Bazunu was far from the best Saints keeper we have had, but he was also far from the worst, but whatever your thoughts on him, he should be applauded for sticking to his morals, even when he has a lot more to lose and nothing to gain from making this gesture |  |

It’s just a bit silly though.
He’s not playing the IDF. He’s playing a football team. Would Bazunu shake Peretz’s hand or is he too Israeli for him? | | | |

Exactly. Keep politics out of football.
Bazuna's actions were pathetic. Will he do the same when Ireland play other countries with a questionable record? I think not and I'm glad he's gone. |  |

For those saying keep politics out of football do you also think poppies on shirts should be banned and flags with things like stop the boats on them removed from stadiums, or is it just the politics you don't like that counts.
As for Bazunu as terrible he was as a keeper i respect anyone who stands on their morals for something they believe in. |  | | |

The thing I have always liked about football is that in all the time that I have been watching it, it is a great leveller of people, you stood and watched the game with people around you that for 90 minutes what they did for a living, what political party or religious beliefs etc was of no matter, you just bonded in supporting your team.
In relation to poppies, that is not political, it is a remembrance of those who died fighting oppression, whether they were right/left, white /black, protestant/catholic/muslim or whatever.
Sport should be free of politics, ok sometimes it cant be and nations have been banned from competing , but if they haven't been banned then you have to play them, or withdraw from the competition.
Bazunu should be applauded, not whether he was right or wrong to withdraw, but as you say he stood up for something he believed in.
I respect him for that. | |

It’s not sad just stating the obvious. He was in my opinion and I know many other Saints fans agree with me,?was downright awful when playing for Saints. If any opposing player shot from outside the box Bazuna’s anticipation was zero. He let so many sloppy goals in and cost us countless points.
A totally overrated player and extremely lucky to play international football. He arrived as a Jason Wilcox package along with Hayward-Bellis, Adosi and Charles.
Football is about opinions and I just don’t get the hype with him. It’s your opinion that you think he contributed to our long unbeaten run of 2023 / 2024. I would say that he benefited from a well organised defence in front of him. | | | |

Poppies aren’t political.
And yes keep all political banners and crap out (including taking the knee) - whether it’s Reform or whoever. I don’t go to the match to be lectured by anyone. | |

Opinions are opinions and everyone is entitled to their own, however he did not arrive as a Jason Wilcox package, he joined in June 2022 as did Edozie but Wilcox didn't arrive at St Mary's till the summer of 2023 after serving his notice period at Manchester City and Harwood-Bellis arrived shortly afterwards. | |

He may not arrived at the same time but all from the main same source. We drew the short straw with Bazuna. I for one sincerely wish I never ever see him wearing a Saints shirt. A complete an utter pillock bowing down to the Irish narrative.
Gavin Bazuna has ruined his career by letting politics get the better of him. Pushing himself in the spotlight on such a delicate, sensitive and dare I say it dangerous subject is only going to curtail future transfer opportunities for him. He needs to shut up and let his football do the talking. | | | |

He will be a hero at Celtic. | |

Exactly.
I bet if you put a world map in front of Bazunu, he wouldn't even be able to point to where Israel is on it. |  |
